England vs India: Harmanpreet Kaur's hundred helps India to win ODI series for the first time since 1999

Harmanpreet Kaur's century and a 4-wicket haul by Renuka Singh helped India beat England by 88 runs in the second ODI and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. The victory marked India's first win in England since 1999.

Harmanpreet Kaur's India made a statement in England by winning an ODI series for the first time since 1999. The visitors scripted history with an 88-run victory in the second match after Harmanpreet setup the match with her hundred.

Harmanpreet's blitzkrieg powered India to post their all-time second highest total of 333/5, after being put into bat on Wednesday, September 21. Things were in control of England by the end of 40 overs, but a late surge by India turned into a nightmare for England's young bowling attack.

England got an early breakthrough as Kate Cross cleaned up Shafali Verma cheaply for eight. But Smriti Mandhana and No.3 Yastika Bhatia were quick in recovery. England maintained the upper hand with the quick dismissals of Bhatia (26) and Mandhana (40).

However, Harmanpreet Kaur and Harleen Deol took their time in the middle before pressing the acceleration button. The duo formed a 113-run partnership for the fourth wicket, taking India past the 200-run mark along the way and Deol hitting her maiden ODI fifty.
